Summary

Red Cell Distribution Width Index versus Red Cell Distribution Width as Discriminating Guide for Iron Deficiency Anaemia and Beta Thalassemia Trait .

Conditions

  • Microcytic Hypochromic Anemia

Interventions

OTHER

CBC , Iron study and Haemoglobin electrophoresis .

The study will conducting on 100 patients of microcytic hypochromic anaemia who recruited from the hematology outpatient clinic , Assiut University Children Hospital . Beside history and clinical examination , the studied cases will be subjected to the following investigations Complete blood count ( CBC ) with comparison of MCV , RBCs count , RDW and RDWI . Determination of serum ferritin , serum iron and total iron bending capacity ( TIBC ) . HB electrophoresis . Patient with HBA2 more than 3.2 % are identified as beta thalassemia trait and patients with serum ferritin less than 12 ng / ml are identified as IDA cases. Validity of both discrimination indices are evaluated by calculating there sensitivity , specificity , positive predictive value , negative predictive value and Youden index ( YI ) Based on statistical criteria in ideal test should have high sensitivity and specificity and Youden index.
